My mailbox is filling up with reminders to review. Why are journals putting more pressure to review papers under 1 month? In social sciences, there's not such a rush as in medicine. Taking another month or 2 is reasonable, and leaves enough time to reviewers to deal with peak periods. ***Sigh**

We think we're so smart these days but some of the best ideas are old. This paper has been a cornerstone for my work, almost 50 years old. If we had listened we would have done everything possible to make development more equitable and reduce vulnerability to hazards. www.nature.com/articles/260...

Taking the naturalness out of natural disasters - Nature

Phil O'Keefe, Ken Westgate and Ben Wisner argue the case that disasters are more a consequence of socio-economic than natural factors.

What is left to say? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In recent days, I operated on two women who were shot by quadcopters while sheltering in their tents near one of the locations, according to the people who brought them in. One was breastfeeding her child when she was hit; the second was pregnant.
Thankfully, both have survived their injuries so far.
These women weren't even seeking aid - they were simply sheltering in areas that are supposedly
"safe" but exposed to indiscriminate fire from the IDF's weaponised hunger apparatus.

Great and important article about an imperfect deal on recognizing New Caledonia. Did you know this was happening? Because until I read this, I didn't. Support our newsroom so you can stay in the international know globalvoices.org/donate/

Historic deal recognizes the ‘State of New Caledonia’ within France

"This compromise will not fully satisfy anyone. But I am firmly convinced that it allows us to take New Caledonia out of the spiral of violence, uncertainties, and destruction."

yes this hasn't gained enough international attention. It's so important and remarkable these days that decolonisation can take place peacefully, through negotiated settlements, respect of the law, and the will of the people.

🧵 Today I participated in a French 🇫🇷 PhD defence for the first time and it made me reflect on the various examination models: which might be the most scientifically robust, and which might be the most satisfying to the candidate? And is Germany the only place where the entire thing is also marked?

I loved the French one both as a PhD and an examiner. It's such a unique opportunity in academic life to have a detailed, in-depth discussion, in which people give so much of their time to a junior colleague in view of taking the PhD further. It's really a celebration of the commitment of the PhD

Lydie Cabane @lydiec.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

I can't find your description of the French system, so here it is: commitee of 5 to 8 examiners, including two 'rapporteurs' who authorised the viva. PhD presents their work, then supervisors compliments, and then detailed questioning of the committee generally totalling 3 to 5 hours.

Lydie Cabane @lydiec.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

changes can happen before (in the NL and FR). It happens that an examiner refuses the viva unless changes are implemented though it is rare and a sign of a supervision problem or 'politics' (disagreements between supervisors and examiners), but the role of the supervisor is to prevent this
